Hello all. We are running TDP for Oracle 7.1 in an AIX 7 environment. Our Oracle version is 12.2. Recently we are getting an "ANS1463E (RC5801) Unexpected error in cryptography library" error on our CROSSCHECK part of the nightly backup. This is happening on 3 of our 6 servers (all the same configuration). Every server has at least 2 databases running on it (same version, same Oracle home) 1 consistently gets the error, the other does not. They all use the same TDP configuration. Has anyone seen this error before? If so, did you fix it?

It should be in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64 .
If its not there, look in the dsm.sys for the option ERRORLOGNAME and see where its pointing to and the name of the file. FYI: The TDP use the the TSM API to communicate with the TSM Server.

As a test.
In the dsm.sys file for the TSM API, add the following -
ENCRYPTIONType DES56

Since there is a change in the dsm.sys file, be sure to stop/restart the dsmsched daemon so that the new update in the dsm.sys will be read.

I encounter a similar issue years ago.
The funny part, we do not encrypt the Oracle data.
It just over ride the default of ENCRYPTIONType AES128 .
What's strange in the dsm.sys we do not even have "include.encrypt" for the Oracle data.

Not sure what version of the TSM API that you are using with the TDP Oracle 7.1.
May want to upgrade the TSM API to the same levels as the TDPO.

If we are not able to upgrade the TSM API.
Open a PMR with IBM Support on the possibility of a bug.

They were installed together, so I imagine that they are at the same level. I'll try the setting (I've seen this on line). I didn't realize you have to stop and restart the daemon for it to take affect, so thanks.

Just to be sure that we updated the dsm.sys file for the TSM API and not for the TSM B/A Client.

In the directory /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64 look for a file called tdpo.opt .

In the tdpo.opt , look for the parameter dsmi_orc_config it should be pointing to the dsm.opt file.
The default path, /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/.
Once in the dir, look for the dsm.sys file.
The add ENCRYPTIONType DES56 .
